Zelligism is the self-insert political and philosophical ideology of User:ZelligLover109
Zelligism is a form of 
philosophical, 
existentialist, and 
egoist anarchism that emphasizes 
natural individualism, the 
non-existence of social ideals, the prioritization of oneself, 
the freedom one already has, 
the natural process of Darwinism's application to humanity evolutionarily and behaviorally, and 
the lack of interference with those natural processes.
Theory
Existentialism's Applications to Egoism 
Zelligism takes the applications of 
Stirner's concept of "phantasms", and goes as far to say that they are not only immaterial concepts that unnaturally change human behavior, but also completely non-existent. This belief comes from the idea that concepts like 
morals, 
ethics, 
justice, 
private property, 
the state, etc. can all be dictated by documents that certify them or expectations that society upholds, but in the truest form of reality they are nothing but fiction made in the minds of man. Zelligism pushes its narrative so far, that even basic fundamentals in modern society like language, scripture, physics, and mathematics are fictional to the zelligist. In the grand scheme of everything, no language, math equation, or book truly says anything except to those who understand it. It's like showing an infant that has not learned a single word, written or spoken, a dictionary. The baby does not understand the scripture, therefore the meaning of the scripture does not exist. (Physics is a strange exception, as while the reality of physics is present in our universe through physical means, it is not existent in the terms we use to understand it through equations.)
Nihilism fits into this since none of the universe has any inherent meaning with no significant cause. As a result, it can also be concluded that such concepts like morals, ethics, writing, etc. are meaningless. Nothing in the universe has any sort of inherent meaning, and believing that any sort of writing or morals has an objective code or understanding is absurd.
Zelligism finds the concept of an Earth-centered universe that most religions idealize as appalling. Zelligism takes a more exo-Earthly approach, and focuses on how the universe is not based on Earth solely. To a zelligist, there is no reason to believe that such concepts like morals are truly an important aspect of life when no such concepts can truly exist anywhere else. Our conscious minds are not an excuse to come up with concepts that can restrict one of their natural universal freedoms.
Moralism has no place in zelligism, as there is no such thing as objective morality or even the existence of morality. In an alternate universe, 
murder could be deemed as an acceptable act, while in our current existence it is deplorable. If these ideas can be existentially imagined, it is easy to conclude this means morality is a figment of man's imagination, and therefore unreal.
Do language, math, etc. shape the human mind like morals do in zelligism? Yes. They do. Language may allow humans to articulate their thoughts, but they can still be shut down if their words are deemed unacceptable by society's (inconsistent) standards. Additionally, it has its limitations that prohibit certain ideas and create positive or negative connotations in the human mind that should not exist. On the other hand, math has allowed people to understand the universe as we know it, at least according to our (not) existing rules, but it still confines the nature of the universe to a watered-down "routine". On top of that, if a concept in physics, for example, does not meet these set standards, it becomes an "un-explainable" exception that needs to be discovered and the rules need to be mended. The universe was meant to function the way it does, and was not meant to be adapted for the human mind to satisfy its own desires, so there is no reason to adjust it for ourselves.
How Darwinist Theory Can Be Applied to Humanity 
Zelligism follows the philosophy of 
Deep Ecology that humans are no better than any other species. Humans believe that they are inherently superior on many aspects because of their sentience, intellectual advancement, infrastructure, etc., but in reality, humans are just like any other species. As such, due to their imagined superiority, humans are inclined to believe they are "morally" above other species, as they care for each other if one is weaker than the other. Not only is this false, but also flawed. 
Welfare creates a world where people simply feed off of life with no value, and can even sometimes prolong the suffering of those who are behind 
evolutionarily. Those whose existences are prolonged and given a chance to "survive" end up hardly, if at all, contributing anything to the natural cycle. Individuals have the given choice to assist another person who may be behind themselves, but it isn't a moral obligation, and welfare should not be present to keep those who are too far gone. There is too much interference with the natural evolutionary and reproductive ways of life, simply because we think it is "morally superior" to allow anyone to survive no matter how disadvantaged they are. Welfarism is not evil, not at all, but it should not exist to interfere with the natural processes of evolution and 
Darwinism.
For another perspective that communicates these points (probably better than I ever could), see the Darwinism and Deep Ecology sections on 
Schumacherianism
(/

Allowing the individual to do as they please, especially with the abolition of morality, will result in the eventual elimination of the weaker and less adapted. Everyone's natural self-reliance will create a society where the weak are wiped out and all are obligated to care for themselves and only themselves. Caring for others will become an unnecessary factor of survival, and will only interfere with the natural process of selfishness and natural selection.
Irreverence Toward Religion 
Zelligism is a firm believer that 
religion is a manipulative, untruthful, and unreal phenomenon that unfairly prohibits one of their natural self-interest and desires. The zelligist has no reason to believe religion is a factual aspect of reality as all written scriptures dictating religion as a "word of the deity" were simply written by man and are nothing but written mythology that plagues modern society thousands of years later. Religion is used to enforce morals on the individual, attempting to prohibit one of their natural desires and ideas, and if anyone has a "wrong" thought or desire that goes against that code, not only will those in the religion shun them and wish upon them eternal damnation, but that person will be disgusted with themselves as well. Even then, the morals and ideas of religion itself are inconsistent, as many people who advocate for beliefs like 
Christianity will have different ideas of what is right and wrong. Along with that, there are all sorts of religions with all sorts of different truths, that it would be heavily unlikely for any of them to be objectively correct if they were all accounted for. The morals established by all of these religions are simply imagined, which loops back to the existentialist section. Religion also entails an Earth-central universe, which as previously mentioned, is not possible and an appalling thought to believe, as the universe was not created for the sole purpose of satisfying Earthly needs.
How We Are Already Free
Branching off of the existentialist section, zelligism believes that aside from ideas like morals and property, the state, 
law, and 
police don't truly exist except to those who believe in such ideas. In the grand scheme of the universe, none of these concepts truly exist either, and there is no deeply encoded script in the universe that truly dictates these ideas are outside of the human mind, like morals. As a result, zelligism is not only against the state, but also doesn't believe in it. Since the state does not truly exist, it means that people are already free. Other species do not have an established statist system and are as liberated as an individual can become, so it is only reasonable to assume that we humans can be the same. The only limits to the human liberation is how much people will be willing to let these non-existent ideas take a hold of their life and suppress their true desires, which aren't inherently wrong or right whatsoever.
The Natural Prioritization of the Self 
Following the philosophy of egoist ideas by Stirner and 
Mandeville, humans are naturally self-interested beings. These self-serving desires and tendencies are limited and frowned upon by society, teaching others that prioritizing oneself over others is morally wrong, especially if it disadvantages others. This should not be the case, as the individual is the most important being to itself, and all other people are underneath. Every person does and should act upon ideas that pleases the ego. One cannot act altruistically without pleasing their own self-interests, but if it pleases the ego of oneself to assist, it is feasible. Individuality and non-conformity are important as they establish the truest form of separation from others. Nothing should be able to restrict the individual, and the individual should be as liberated as possible. Borrowing from 
Hysteria Thought, there is an illusion of freedom while individuals are still secretly confined, but zelligism differs as it believes these hidden confines are ideas like morals, the state, and even the existence of society. The idea of society is a danger to the individual, and should therefore also be dismantled. Nothing, not even any form of collective, shall prevent the individual from indulging in its true potential. Society does not exist, only individual minds, as society only exists to those who believe in it.
Why Unreal Phenomena Should Not Be Followed
It's been established well enough throughout this page that a lot of basic societal ideals aren't really present in our reality, but why should we choose to avoid them instead of accept them? Accepting these ideas prevents one from presenting their true potential. Allowing oneself to become a slave to these inconsistent ideas made up by the minds of man creates unnecessary bonds to fixed ideas. As children, we do not know of the ideas of such concepts like morals and other spooks, it is only until as we grow that we are taught this inhibitors that meld our behavior and mindset into an unnatural form. Allowing oneself to be free and liberate themselves from such ideas creates the freedom one once lost during their childhood. Coming to the realization that the existence of such ideas are simply falsehoods and that in the universe there truly are no such things as these spooks is seen as 
"enlightenment". Enlightenment is the most elite form of zellgism, and dictates that one has achieved true freedom from the shackles of spooks.

Schumacherianism You have some splendid ideas about social isolation, deep ecology, and Darwinism, which I heavily agree with, but you still support a state with a religious spearhead and despite your rejection of the state's existence, you still choose to support it to a mild extent. Individual freedom can only exist if we recognize state non-existence. Eliminate the weak tho. Self is important.
Baxism I love your ideas about moral skepticism and New Enlightenment, although your "Utopia Foundation Through State" concept reinforces a """utopia""" that will inevitably become an oppressive fixed idea again. I also agree that freedom of man is natural and that those freedoms are shut down by society, but I can't possibly agree that men are born altruistic. Altruism is taught, self-interest is the human condition. Welfare is also mid, only the strong can thrive. I would love to chat with you sometime, though.
Middle of the Road
Venatrixism Not much to read off of as of now, but I'll try. It's cool that you appreciate owness and the ego, but I don't quite understand how you can combine Stirner's and Marx's heavily conflicting ideas. Stirner would be rolling in his grave right now.
Unenlightened and Spookified
Brazilian Liberalism You support the state, welfare, taxes, a justice system, and police statism, and dare to call yourself a liberal. While you are definitely more moderate than a lot of other people in the authoritarian spectrum, the fact you even reinforce these things is absurd. The individual shall be free of spooks and through that the weakest will die out. Don't waste your non-real money trying to help the lost causes. Self-priority is supreme.
Distributist Reactionaryism Religious, monarchist, welfarist, statist, anti-LGBT. None of this sounds nice to me. You aren't a crazy nazist however, and I do enjoy your forms of isolationism like autarky, and you are far from a racist, which is definitely a step ahead from some of the other users I've seen in this community. You also dislike Marx, which is great. Overall, I do generally disagree with you, but you have some small redeeming qualities.
Pepper Spray
Nuriskianism I don't even know where to begin, this is just horrendous. Morals and ethics mean nothing in general, and you are letting them control your mind anyways. We let nihilism consume us post-leftists and post-anarchists because we have come to realize that moral and ethical constructs truly have no real power or existence over us. There is no "social order" to destroy if it doesn't exist to begin with. The state and your silly morals aren't real. Sorry not sorry.
N.Brioism Wow. Just looking through your influences I can already see you're horrid. 90% of the things you hate and want to destroy from your ideal "society" don't even affect you. You are literally so spookified that you become the personification of all spooks. I don't even want to waste my time continuing about you, so I'm gonna stop typing here.
Neocarlism No words. I'm confused. And concerned. Who hurt you?
How to Draw
- Draw a ball
- Draw the post-anarchist eye
- Create a light blue galaxy spiral-esque shape surrounding the eye
- Fill the left with the egoist teal color
- Fill the right with a very dark grey, as to not have it blend with the outline
- Color the hole of the "A" in the post-anarchy eye red
- Create the Social Darwinism symbol inside of it
- Draw Stirner's eyeglasses underneath the post-anarchy eye
- You have successfully drawn the least spooky ideology
